Pastor and Members Got Robbed at Gunpoint during Church Service (Video)
A flamboyant Brooklyn, USA bishop was robbed in the thick of his live-streamed service on Sunday, July 24. As seen in a video making the rounds, the man of God was confronted by gun-toting criminals while at the pulpit.
The New York Post reports that the criminals left with his KSh 47 million (N168 million) in jewels, according to investigators.
Whitehead was in the middle of his sermon at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie in the mid-morning hours, when three masked gunmen burst in, police said.
“How many of you have lost your faith because you saw somebody else die?” Whitehead asked his congregation, right before spotting the armed intruders.
“All right, all right,” Whitehead then said several times before hitting the floor on his hands and knees.
Whitehead, dressed in a maroon suit with a gold-trimmed collar and sleeve cuffs, was wearing a long gold chain and a large ring on each finger at the time.
